Monthly Electricity Usage at Australian Antarctic Division Kingston

This indicator is no longer maintained, and is considered OBSOLETE.

INDICATOR DEFINITION
Records the quantity of electricity, measured in kWh, used in operating the Australian Antarctic Division site and associated facilites including Macquarie 4 Cargo Facility; Mertonvale Circuit Warehouse and Sandfly Warehouse.

TYPE OF INDICATOR
There are three types of indicators:
1.Describes the CONDITION of important elements of a system;
2.Show the extent of the major PRESSURES exerted on a system;
3.Determine RESPONSES to either condition or changes in the condition of a system.

This indicator is one of: PRESSURE

RATIONALE FOR INDICATOR SELECTION
Effective monitoring of electricity consumption at the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) provides tangible evidence of appropriate energy management and the achievment of targets under the Commonwealth Government's energy scheme.

To allow more effective management of electricity, historical data will be used in calculating maximum demand set-points based on seasonal influences.

Maintaining these records provides a database for submitting information to the Whole of Government Energy Reporting (WOGER), an annual requirement for all federal government divisions.

DESIGN AND STRATEGY FOR INDICATOR MONITORING PROGRAM
Site: The Australian Antarctic Division, Kingston Tasmania.
Frequency: Annual report.
Quarterly reports for assessing performance over the quarter.
Measurement Technique: Data are compiled from the monthly electricity accounts.

指标定义：记录澳大利亚南极局（Australian Antarctic Division, AAD）站点及相关配套设施（包括麦夸里4号货运设施、默顿瓦尔环线仓库与桑德弗莱仓库）运行所消耗的电量，单位为千瓦时（kWh）。

指标类别：指标共分为三类：
1. 描述系统重要组成部分的运行状态；
2. 反映系统所承受的主要压力程度；
3. 用于确定针对系统状态或状态变化的应对举措。
本指标属于第二类：压力类指标。

指标选取依据：对澳大利亚南极局（AAD）的电力消耗开展有效监测，可为能源管理的合规性以及落实英联邦政府能源计划设定的目标提供切实佐证。
为优化电力管理效能，将结合季节影响因素，利用历史数据计算最大电力需求设定值。
留存此类监测记录可构建专属数据库，用于向全政府能源报告（Whole of Government Energy Reporting, WOGER）提交相关信息，这是澳大利亚所有联邦政府部门的年度强制性报送要求。

指标监测方案设计与实施策略：
监测地点：塔斯马尼亚州金斯顿市澳大利亚南极局园区。
报告频次：年度综合报告；季度绩效评估报告。
测量手段：数据汇编源自月度电力账单。
